Summer Vacation in Acadia

 

 

 

Summer vacation has finally arrived. This year we headed for a week in Acadia on the coast of Maine for our first round of sun and fun. The hurricane moved out of town just as we arrived, so a lot of things were wet and without power, but by the next morning life had returned to normal. The forecast had been for highs in the low 70's all week long and a few days of showers but the weather Gods shined on us and gave us temps in the 80's all week and plenty of sunshine. That gave us plenty of chances for hikes, lakes, beaches, a boat ride, campfires, a snack at the Jordan House and lots more fun. Travis and Riley were up there when we arrived so we got to visit with them, the Griffin's joined us for half the week and then we had a few days to ourselves at the end. Em and Ash came down with something towards the end of the week so we left a day early and missed out on a carriage ride and fireworks, but other than that everything went perfect. It wasn't what you'd call a relaxing week for sure, but what with three little kids is? This one was fun filled and busy busy busy busy and we all enjoyed our time together as a family, maybe me most of all since I rarely get more than a day with them at a time. We were all sad to be leaving when the time came but that just means we have unfinished business to go back for next year, so rather than keep typing I'll let the pictures tell the thousand words. Actually it would be about 450,000 words if they all get to tell 1000 (yes that's right, there's 450 pictures) but  if you have some time on your hands and want to see what we were up to for the week you can get all the pictures right here.
